How long are people finding it takes for a graft to really take hold (or become clearly not). Mine are on day 5 @ ~75f and might need some water, but I'm trying to not poke at them.
Ime it takes around a week, give or take. If they need water then give them a drink. Won't hurt the grafts especially after 5 days.How long are people finding it takes for a graft to really take hold (or become clearly not).

This one is all healed up and looking nice.
This is some nice graft BombBudPuffa! Congrat!!!!
Love everything about these experiments! Nice work!
Regarding Exp. No. 7 (Embryo implantation): If the seed were germinated any further, do you think it would take? The newly cracked embryo went into callous mode but would anything slightly older form a bond with the cambium of the rootstock? Or would the nutrient content of the existing rootstock be too much for the newly popped seedling?
On the 7 graft, 3 would be side graft on the trunk and the remaining 4 would be for transversal V-cut graft on the top:
Making the first 3 side graft cuts on the rootstock:

Then with the 4 additionnas grafts:

And now, since experiment 4 was a success (Trunk and root system fusion - post 106, 107) I decided to graft 4 more trunk for a total of 6 plants fused together. The same technique was use.

I did some lollipopping at the base of the plant. Then I exposed the cambium where the contact were to be made and I wrapped all trunk firmly together. I used principally LST and SupperCropping to help lower to canopy...
